"...just so I could keep listening to this CD.My wife and I have a holiday party each December, and this CD features prominently in our "Holiday Mix". It is a real mood setter that always grabs peoples' attention. Every year guests ask me what it is."

Fantastic solo jazz guitar Christmas album

"I just heard this album for the first time tonight at my mom's house...all I can say is: WOW!

We had it on while putting up the tree and playing some family games. Everyone commented about how relaxing and yet captivating the tunes were. Overall - so carefully and craftully done -- it's a MUST for any Christmas get-together."

Best Christmas album ever

"We've been given this album as a Christmas present in 1991, the year it came out. At the time we only had one child, one year old. Fourteen years and three more children later, we still keep playing this album all December- we all love it! It has become the official soundtrack of our family's Christmas time.

It's incredible how Tuck Andress brings freshness to age-old tunes like God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen or Silent Night; his rendition of such a commonplace tune as Jingle Bells is as un-commonplace as you can wish. And what makes it most incredible, at least to a would-be guitarist as myself, is that he played all tunes live in studio, with no production at all! This means what you hear is what he played, period. Deserves a standing ovation."

I wish I could give this 10 stars!

"I've been a fan of Tuck and Patti's for about 11 years now, and I always get a thrill listening to Tuck's guitar work. This is one of my very favorite Christmas CDs and gets a lot of playing time in December. If you're tired of being beat over the head with same old cheesy Christmas arrangements then you need to get this CD. It's mellow, groovin, original, and thoroughly enjoyable. 10 stars for Tuck!!"
